小樽藏群温故知新度假村

The property is properly located at a quite neighborhood for people looking for privacy. Well renovated yet a bit modern as compare to other onsen ryokan in Japan. Staffs are super polite, helpful and considerate, exceeds most 5 stars hotel standard. The food over there are nice and the presentation is superb. It is just like an art...Each guest room has its own in-room onsen. Due to limited guest rooms, the public onsen is like private onsen most of the time. My family has an amazing stay there. Looking forward to re-visit the venue again if I come around Otaru area next time.

Lying along a stream on the hillside in Otaru, this spa hotel is just 10 mins drive away from Otaru Chikko station where a free shuttle (though not too frequent and prior appointment is required) is run. We, a couple with a kid spent two nights on the basic room in a two-storey design with a conveniently built-in bath tub. The breakfast and dinner must be one of the best and the finest that you could in a spa hotel in Japan overall and of course should not be missed. Free drinks of every kind throughout your stay during meals and in the bar area from 6pm till midnight daily. The public spa set up is almost perfect except that no private session would be available for family enjoyment.

The only negative things I have is - rooms need blockout blinds. Way too bright in the morning and cant sleep well after sunrise which is at 4ish in the morning
